STANDARDS FOR METABOLIZABLE ENERGY AND ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS IN COMPOUND FEEDS FOR PIGS WITH HIGH MEAT PERFORMANCE

Abstract

Pig breeding is developing successfully in the Republic of Belarus and in recent years has achieved high rates. The paper is devoted to the modern principles of rationing the amount of metabolizable energy and essential amino acids in compound feeds for all age and gender groups of pigs with high, genetically determined meat performance. Algorithms for calculating metabolizable energy both in individual feed ingredients and in compound feeds are proposed. The ratios of individual amino acids in mixed feeds are given among themselves and in relation to the energy level.
